LUK LAK

A beautiful restaurant, you definitely need a reservation here in advance - I saw several customers turned away as they tried for walk in. You can just message them on social media to request it. Food was not bad, I esp loved the grilled eggplant. Was surprised that the chicken and grilled pork dish came with rice too. Interesting!

LukLak is a beautiful restaurant with a strong visual identity and a polished atmosphere. The space is spacious, well-designed, and immediately feels like a special dining experience. The standout dish was the sturgeon, exceptionally fresh, perfectly cooked, and very memorable. The calamansi and aloe vera drink was also excellent, refreshing and naturally balanced. Coffee was strong and good quality. The grilled chicken, however, was overcooked and less impressive compared to the rest of the meal. Service was efficient but inconsistent. While the welcome was warm, our server felt a bit abrupt at times and small details like water refills and clearer communication could be improved. The menu is quite extensive, which feels slightly unfocused for a restaurant at this level, and vegetarian options are limited. Bathrooms were clean but lacked privacy. Overall, LukLak delivers on atmosphere and standout seafood, but could benefit from a more focused menu and more refined service. Worth visiting, especially for the fish.

This was the best food we have had in Vietnam. We ended up in Danang for twice as long as planned due to the flooding in Hoi An so we ended up coming here four times in the end. We tried different things each time and they were all excellent. My favourite was the Sapa pork with sticky black rice. Service is excellent and everyone really friendly. The paintings and photos around the restaurant were really interesting as well.

Worthy of the Michelin recommendations! I have simple criteria for a restaurant, did it make me happy and will I visit this place again. Yes to both. They also adjusted their service according to our requests which was very impressive. Thank you Thao and the rest of the staff.

Definitely make reservation in advance. It was fully booked the first time we came, so we made resevation for the next day. The restaurant was very spacious and comfy, food was wonderful and good portion. The food came quickly, and waiting staff were helpful to show us how all the sauces should be mixed. Although one staff missed our additional order, which we cancelled at the end.

Must try!!! Authentic Northern taste. Spectacular water view Michelin guide 2024, 2025

We ordered drink which contain coconut water, apricot and lemon. It tasted of water and sugar , very disappointing. Then we wanted a crab soup which didn't actually contain any crab meat. We ordered a duck dish which was very chewy and without any crispiness to the skin. The overall experience was pretty terrible, and we would certainly not go back as the dinner was so disappointing. You go to a place which claims Michelin 2024 Michelin, 2025, and it's just a chaos, no ambience, and no taste.

I can't believe how bad their food are. I was there for lunch and order Soft Shell Crab spring roll, Pho and shrimp and meat spring roll. Their soup base Pho it's almost taste like water basically no flavor at all, and the meat is hard to chew. The shrimp meat spring roll was just edible. Their soft shell crab, You can taste and smell the bad odor after you bite into it. That's the reason I give them one star is that the softshell crab after they deep fry it I could smell and taste the foul smell. Usually when it's not that fresh after deep frying it the odor will go away and odor will be in the frying oil. But the bad odor stayed, so it can only mean one thing, it should be thrown away. This can only be explained that the softshell crab is so bad that they should have thrown it away. But they didn't. The chief should be fire. I just don't understand how Michelin rating will give them a consistent select destination. People at Michelin should go and undercover and dress like a foreigner that's on tour. This way they will find out how bad they are.
